The work of paving around the towI
pump, and fixing new pump, is going

Squire McClung this afternoon on {
charge of cutting with intent to xii
Frank Pettiford. Quite number of wit
nesses were called, and the Justices Office

ing made in front of the Hunter property,
on Main street. -. Mrs. Ida Forsythe is
visiting her mother, Mrs. Monahan. She
is now employed in Cincinnati. 49,. We
heard one gotten off by John Douglass,
the merchant, that is too good to be lost:
A drummer addressed John while the
latter was busy. and asked if "he was not
coming down to Cincinnati to see Rome
under Nero" John replied mo, I see
something worse right here, every day.
'And what is that? asked the drummer.
why, America under Clevelandp' was
the stunning reply.
THURsDAY!The Martin boys are back
from Cincinnati with lot of goods. s......
James Kimberling is away buying goods.
....J. L. Jones and Judge Longbon re-
ceived letters from Gen. Moves, indicating
that if possible he will be here at the Re-
union Mrs. J. M. Lively is danger
ously ill. -. Work will be pushed, on
Nail Mill. right along 49,. .Meacham has
the frame of one of the Dever houses
raised. We were sadly mistaken in a
local item last week regarding the festi-
val to be given at the Grange Hall, near
Arthur's. We got it on Wednesday night
of last week, and it should have been Sat-
urday of this week, the 10th. ... We re-
ceived to-day, through the kindness of w.
Nick. Davis, and on behalf of the good
Methodist friends of Cross Roads, a large,
beautiful and delicious cake. 1t was
baked by Miss Mary Arthur, and we will
say that no person could bake better
one. To Miss Arthur, Mr.. Davis, and the
good friends down at Cross Roads, we
feel like returning thanks. The Church
festival there made about $240. Certainly
an encouraging amount, for locality like
Cross Roads.
FRIDAY.-"Still dry and dustyP' is the
greeting of every farmer you meet. The
meadow-lands look like clay-banks, in
color. -. The Christian Church meet

State Fair. Doug. Mclaughlin is
here. The frame work of the Mission
Church is being put up. The Tele-

and repainted in fine style. When the
Judge goes out of Office, one of the best
officers the County ever had will have re-
tired. -. The tea of the WOmen's For

residence of Mrs. e. w. Miller, on Broad

barger says ther are getting short of wa
ter at the Infrmary. The new pump
has been placed in the Public Square
well. ..... Capt. Thomas and family
showed to very small house tonight
The Capt felt aggrieved that he was not
better patronized here, but the fact seems
to be that our people are too busy getting
ready for the big Reunion, going to see
Rome under Nero" and the like, to take
hold of such matters. Capt. Thomas has
one of the best entertainments ever
brought to town. Little Grace is whole
entertainment by herself. The family
certainly deserved better patronage than
they received.
SATURDAY.-Thism morning showed up
cloudy and dark, and looked like a fine
rain was at hand-but slight shower
was all that fell. James Allen, driver
of coal team, was seized with severe
cramp to-day, and had to be hauled home
in an express wagon. This man has been
overcome with the heat time or two
and had to leave his work. 49,. We've
sent the Salvation Army over to try to
convert Waverly. Since the town has
put the whisky out of the place, and don't
allow anything stronger than Emmitt's
Discovery to be used, there seems to be
some hope for the people -. The Chris
tian Church had excellent meetings to-
day and tonight. Rev. Tyler preached
at the Rink tonight to large congrega-

great earnestness in his talks. -. Capt

ant Grove to-day. -. AT the meetings al
